BREAKING: Joe Biden has undergone skin cancer surgery. Praying for this incredible man.
It was great to see our amazing NYS Attorney General Letitia James at the Erie County Democratic Committee’s annual picnic today! Thank you, AG James, forr all you and your office are doing to stand up for us against the hateful, incompetent cruelty that is coming from our federal government.
I’ve seen enough. Impeach Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.
RFK Jr: It's gonna be the biggest infusion of federal dollar into rural healthcare in American history BERNIE SANDERS: Yeah. You know why? Because you're cutting $150b for rural hospitals, you're putting $50b back. That's not an infusion. That's a loss of $100b.
I’ve done this for 2 weeks now and it *absolutely rules*. Best class discussions I’ve ever had. Best engagement with readings. They write in this worksheet for 15 minutes, then talk about their responses in groups of 3-4, then groups share with the whole class, and *then* we talk about the readings
So professional.
Follow his lead, reach out, and share with a friend or even here!
Because the Mortality and Morbidity conferences did not decide every single case? Please. All were reviewed.
and they knew her and talked to her. their lead should be followed. then maybe folks can also get kamala's name said right as well
Someone! Pls note that Kennedy focuses on chronic disease + brushes off contagious disease. Mention diabetes, high blood pressure, etc. and the difference between measles, mumps, etc. SOMEONE. Many people think he is focusing on ALL diseases when he talks about his MAHA chronic agenda.
IN OTHER LATE-NIGHT LEGAL NEWS: Judge orders Trump admin to obligate billions in Congressionally appropriated foreign-aid funds by Sept. 30. Judge Amir Ali's new order is under Administrative Procedure Act after DC Circuit rejected earlier basis. Doc: ecf.dcd.uscourts.gov/cgi-bin/show...
My Shakespeare professor once said regarding the masked balls in Shakespeare’s plays that when we are masked, we look at least like ourselves, but act most like true selves. Very true Dr. Tony Lewis.
Well, I'm no JAG, but yes, I think illegal, for following reasons: 1. Civilian vessel 2. Not self-defense 3. No attempt at interdiction (i.e. disable engines) 4. Int'l waters 5. No PID on folks in boat (could be civilians) 6. No declared state of war or hostilities so unclear authorization
Wasn’t something like this in the bipartisan bill that Trump killed?
Pritzker: "Any rational person who has spent even the most minimal amount of time studying human history has to ask themselves one important question: once they get the citizens of this nation comfortable with the current atrocities committed under the color of law, what comes next?"
Pritzker: When did we become a country where it's okay for the president to insist on national television that a state should call him to beg for anything, especially something we don't want? Have we truly lost all sense of sanity in this nation that we treat this as normal?
Warfighters demonstrating leafality.
Post something Epstein, every day! Don't let him get away again! The Epstein files are real. The Epstein files are real. The Epstein files are real.
"No one in the administration – the president or anybody under him – has called anyone in my administration or me – have not called the city of Chicago or anyone else. So it's clear that, in secret, they're are planning this – well, it's an invasion with US troops." Gov. JB Pritzker
Could’ve been so beautiful
That Trump and Trumpism are fascist doesn’t explain the sheer vandalism of unleashing mass murdering mayhem via RFK to replace medical/scientific institutions of immense value and prestige with medieval peasant superstitions. That is a criminal madness facilitated by but above and beyond fascism.
He’s providing them with valuable mulching experience though.
New Mexico has issued a public health order that removes federal restrictions to COVID-19 vaccine access so that pharmacies in New Mexico can vaccinate people of all ages and risk profiles. Every state need to do this!
Spitting out my soup
Cover me, I’m going for the leaf blower
Television legend Stephen Colbert has just signed a $13.5 million deal with Netflix for a 7-episode series.
Well done helping the rest of us appreciate why the decision to honor an insurrectionist is damaging both to our military and our society, @markhertling.bsky.social.
I wonder why Trump imposed secondary tariffs only on India for buying Russian oil while not caring about all the other countries who buy Russian oil?
Lethality.
The most radically transparent administration ever?! Shedding light on corruption?! Yeah right 🙄 Susan Monzarez wanted materials for vaccine recommendation meetings posted on CDC webpages, TRANSPARENTLY, ahead of time HHS said no www.reuters.com/business/hea...
there is no question in my mind that rfk jr is the most dangerous person in this administration and that his eugenicist ideology threatens the lives of millions of people www.advocate.com/politics/dem...
Yeah, let’s ban estrogen and testosterone. See how that goes. I noticed all the women going through. Change of life are shooting up schools too.
Trying to break in and hurt congressman and those who protect them. Don’t stand your ground laws work at the capital? You are all horrible people.
BREAKING: Kilmar Abrego Garcia is has just asked a judge for a GAG ORDER against Kristi Noem, Pam Bondi and their subordinates.
Baltimore was awarded $62M in the trial against a ghost gun dealer, for flooding the city with untraceable guns. The funds will support community violence intervention groups. @daniel-webster.bsky.social, the Center’s Distinguished Scholar, provided expert witness testimony in the trial.
THE FDA JUST NARROWED COVID BOOSTER ELIGIBILITY TO ONLY HIGH RISK PEOPLE. THAT'S NOT GOOD ENOUGH. HEALTHCARE SHOULD PROTECT EVERYONE, ESPECIALLY MARGINALIZED COMMUNITIES. WE DESERVE BETTER.
I can’t… Let’s dance!
I Was Inside CDC During the Shooting. I Can Still Hear the Bullets. www.medpagetoday.com/opinion/seco...
Every horrific instance has same type of answers. No need to ask. Shut up. Show the blood. Talking to survivors, showing tributes sugarcoats the hell.
Putting a 10 year old on tv to talk about his friend being shot at school is a different level of diabolical.
all of this makes total sense when you recognize that “freedom” here means the freedom to dominate those you view as your subordinates and “tyranny” is when someone threatens that “freedom” or worse, when those subordinates try to claim power as political equals
BREAKING: Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey after Annunciation Catholic School shooting: “Don’t just say this is about thoughts and prayers right now. These kids were literally praying!” Stop paying for a f-cking minute and demand action by people and not just God.
Makes you wonder why he didn’t call it that from the start.
I used them when I first started! We had to order from downtown a few weeks ahead of time! That's why I LOVED renting a VHS player and tape!!!
The prolonged public torturing of a single man because the state cannot admit to its errors is not something that occurs in a free country
It's beyond outrageous what Trump has done to Kilmar Abrego Garcia. And it's all because he became the most prominent illustration of how the amoral, sadistic, lawless, mendacious, and authoritarian thugs who today control our federal government seek to destroy our constitutional order. ...
Wes Moore stepped up his game today.
"Only when the last tree has been cut, the last river has been poisoned & the last fish been caught will they realize that they can't eat money" old Cree proverb
Trump: < steals my car > Business press: "The President showed used car market savvy"
Putting the military on the street will lower crime. It does in North Korea, did in Nazi Germany, and in the book 1984. The question isn’t will it lower crime. The question is do we want to be a nation governed like this. Until 6 minutes ago the GOP believed in LOCAL control.
When I started teaching, I would have to go to the local store and rent the VHS player so I could show tapes to the students. Looked like that.
making my way through the ken burns JAZZ documentary and this portion of his interview with dave brubeck — who passed in 2012 — is a reminder of how *recent* american history really is. start at :55 or so. youtu.be/stadqAHRroA?...

Wise man.
The number of people, now in positions of authority, whom I've never heard of before, who have wholesale bought into the authoritarian project and talk about it casually, like it's normal, is utterly mind-blowing.
Wait. I thought they have do much evidence snd we’re going to prosecute
Gentleman? Pretty apparent to all that he is no gentleman snd never has been. You need some level of class snd grace to be one.
Man this fucking sucks. *A good source of independent journalism abandons X for here. *Mississippi passes an age verification law that BlueSky says means it must block the state. *And now the Mississippi Free Press is not available to BlueSky users in MS.
I will say it again and again: dehumanizing language BEGETS DEHUMANIZATION. That there is no accountability for those who refer to their fellow human beings as "cockroaches" is a vicious omen. Remember Rwanda. Especially in an estranged politics, our language lives its own life. From The Atlantic:
I’ve seen so many people spreading the misinformation that PBS is shut down or is shutting down. The Corporation for Public Broadcasting has been shut down and PBS has been defunded. HOWEVER!!! PBS still exists. It is more important now than ever that you donate to PBS if you can.
Attorney General Pam Bondi said today: "Justice will be pursued. Always.” Reminder Bondi was the Attorney General in Florida from 2011 and 2019 where she refused to prosecute Jeffrey Epstein despite his child sex ring taking place in her state. She also has engaged in a cover up of Epstein's files.
The people who reflexively say that everything happening in the news every day is just a distraction from the Epstein files are allowing themselves to get distracted by the Epstein files from many other things that are incredibly important also.
Would love it if chyron said that Maxwell thought her inappropriateness was fine too.
No brained. But those that placed them there do have bad brains . . .
Five years ago, a very close relative died of a glioblastoma brain tumor at the age of 13. Today would have been his 19th birthday. And now comes news that an mRNA vaccine is being trialed to treat this very (incurable) malady. Fingers crossed. mbi.ufl.edu/2024/05/01/v...
Yes. Yes, it does.
Cutting off mRNA research because the first mRNA vaccines weren't good enough - *even if that were true, which it really isn't* - is like if we banned personal computers in 1981 because the IBM PC was too expensive
Being against vaccines when diseases are rampant (measles, Covid) is like adding chlorine to the gene pool. Darwin is watching.
Fake
Federal employee here. That senior administration officials are making much out of "sandwich slap" guy and simply ignoring this attack speaks volumes to me about where I stand -- nowhere. Imagine 500 shots into DHS HQ, it'd be martial law.

America has fallen.
If he has them goldspray the monuments. . . .
Will there be a new flu snd Covid vaccine this fell? Seems fine one should be writing about it.
I go to my local Barnes & Noble from time to time to check out the banned books. This month Barbara Kingsolver’s Demon Copperhead has made it onto the banned list. Living in Florida is a never ending experience of stupidity wielded by the self righteous christofascists in power.
Freedom for the August 11? Hostage!
Will be hard to explain in the future that the US government went antivax, causing a lot of avoidable suffering and death, not in response to any negative incident with vaccines, but to the biggest, fastest, most successful, most impressive vaccine rollout in history.
I have not heard Democrat or republican touting the creation of new long-term treatment centers. Like NewHope in New York State. No one is touting the number of counselors and new drug treatment counselors. No one is saying that because no one is doing that.
